I don't think anyone would connect Joely, Jolly,
Jola, etc. with
Jolie. I guess unless they heard you yell out Joely, they might think you said
Jolie. Except the emphasis is on opposite syllables.
Anyway, I've always kind of thought Joely was pretty upbeat and fun. The problem with Joely though is I think it's connected to actress Joely Richardson. But she's not as well known as
Angelina Jolie.
Jola is kind of neat. I wouldn't use Jolly, though. It just brings up images of fat guys laughing. What about
Joy? I really like that.
